This is a super rare historic movie that would have been considered queer 120 years ago. Today it just looks like women doing exercises in baggy pyjamas but back in the day this was considered super spicy. #lesbian #throwback #throwbackthursday #lesbiansoftiktok #history #queerhistory #lgbtq #vintage #historymemes #lgbtq🏳️‍🌈 #vintagequeer #gaytiktok #historytiktok

They’re calling this woman “the Mona Lisa of the Deep” but I think the press is missing some important clues about her potential identity. This shipwreck is associated with the California Gold Rush and in the early 1850s, many of the young wealthy women in SF were workers. Im working on a new book on the financial lives of workers and for me It’s not def proof but a def possibility. What do you think? Btw I think it’s likely she wasn’t on the boat… Photo credit Photo by Paul Messier Studio for Columbus-America Discovery Group Inc #vintagefashion #t#throwbackv#vintagemodel #vintageglam #victorianfashion #beauty #californiagirl #historytok #historybuff

These are the souvenirs that workers at a bro+he| in Alaska tucked away in 1898 for people in the future to find. They included hair combs, fans, bustles, dance cards, shoes, and a notebook. It was a common practice back in the day to hide souvenirs in walls as a time capsule.
